  • Publication number: 20230082466
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing a hair transplant using a hair transplant device. The hair transplant device comprises an extraction unit including a coring needle configured to extract at least one hair follicle from a donor site, an implanting unit removably coupled to the extraction unit, the implanting unit including a splitting needle configured to create an opening in a recipient site, a housing coupled to the extraction unit, and a user interface extending from the housing and moveable relative to the housing. The user interface includes a pin movable within the coring needle relative to the housing.

  • Publication number: 20220176153
    Abstract: An osseointegrated fixture of a percutaneous osseointegrated prosthesis (POPs) anchors directly into a bone of a residual limb within an amputation stump. By anchoring directly into the bone, the POPs provides improved mobility, comfort, and function for an amputee, but an interface between an opening in the skin and the osseointegrated fixture, which allows the anchoring directly into the bone, is prone to infection by microbes. An anti-microbial device can be attached to and/or embedded within an extracorporeal portion of the osseointegrated fixture to irradiate at least a portion on the interface with at least one wavelength of light selected for its antimicrobial effects.

  • Patent number: 11331453
    Abstract: A foley catheter stabilizing apparatus includes an attachment strap, a mounting plate, and a catheter stabilizing retainer. The catheter stabilizing retainer that secures the port divider of the catheter includes a channeled holder, an elastic cover, and a male fastening feature. The attachment strap slidably traverses through the mounting plate. A base of the channeled holder is rotatably mounted to the mounting plate as the attachment strap secures the mounting plate and the catheter stabilizing retainer to patient's leg. A proximal end of the elastic cover is terminally connected to a first lateral wall of the channeled holder. The male fastening feature is angularly connected to a second lateral wall of the channeled holder. The elastic cover is stretched across the first lateral wall and the second lateral wall of the channeled holder and removably mounted to the male fastening feature to secure the port divider in place.

  • Publication number: 20210145476
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing a hair transplant using a hair transplant device. The hair transplant device comprises a coring needle, a splitting needle, a housing, and a user interface. The coring needle forms a coring lumen configured to extract a hair follicle from a donor site. The splitting needle is configured to create an opening in a recipient site. The housing at least partially surrounds one of the coring needle and the splitting needle. The user interface extends from the housing and is movable relative to the coring needle to push the hair follicle from the coring lumen into the opening in the recipient site formed by the splitting needle.
